Maika Tours Shore Excursions: PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGABLE and FRIENDLY Service - We booked a shore excursion sailing on the Celebrity Solstice, the owner Mr. Giang Vu, was very helpful in assisting me in booking all of the tours at each Vietnam port we docked in. The timely communication throughout the booking process, as well as prior to disembarking each day. Wie would have the tour guides phone # and the guide would be waiting for us as the ship docked in port. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable, the stops on the way for taking pictures were amazing. I would recommend Maika Tours for anyone who is on a cruise and is looking to book shore excursions. You will Not be disappointed in Maika travels in booking your shore excursions with PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGABLE and FRIENDLY Service
